Here we will show you two different methods to convert and write 38 hours and 33 minutes as a decimal.
Method 1:
Because there are 60 minutes in an hour (not 100), we can first convert the 38 hours to minutes by multiplying it by 60.
Then we add that number to the 33 minutes and divide the total by 60. Here is the math and the answer:
(38 x 60) + 33 = 2313 minutes
2313 / 60 = 38.550 hours
Method 2:
You could also make the minutes into a fraction as 33/60, which is the same as 33 divided by 60. Then you
add that result to the 38 hours. Here is the math to illustrate:
33/60 = 0.550
38 + 0.550 = 38.550 hours
